![]() ![]() This process is labor- and time-intensive, limiting the number of sites monitored and the frequency of monitoring. Active surveillance involves teams of researchers collecting ticks from field locations with the potential to be sites of establishing tick populations. If this is a sign of how Moodle will interact - no there was no warning of the change - then a rethink seems to be in order and maybe switching to Google Classroom before too much time and effort is invested.Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe, and on-going surveillance is required to monitor the spread of the tick vectors as their populations expand under the influence of climate change. Schools in developing nations simply can't afford multiple people - my own salary isn't much more than the annual Moodle Cloud subscription!Ĭreating additional tasks such as activity completion would detract from the idea of being simple, and paying is out of the question when the average salary of a teacher is less than $3 per day. In my site, I am the Director/Teacher/Admin/ICT support. Whilst your suggestion make sense, they defeat the object of being simple and cheap. I selected Moodle and have been putting 100s of hours in each month on creating a demo site that can be show cased to dozens of other learning centers along the border and in refugee camps, one of which has already invested in their own site. On the one hand that is very helpful, but on the other, very disappointing. If you have the means ($$), you may want to reach out to a Moodle Partner close to where you are operating, for more hands-on support than these rather general recommendations. If your students have lost their way around your course page, take the time to setup some User tours (if you have access to them under site admin > Appearance) to point out how the new version of Moodle works.Īnd if you have some time available, you could even go as far as adding some Label resources to your course, setup through Restrict access, to only become visible once a specific activity has been completed. If your students are so focused on keeping track of their progress, then modify your course's design to provide them this information through the Checklist activity and/or the Course completion block. Take a moment to accept rolling back isn't an option, and then make a plan to answer the following question: How do I optimize the new tools and interfaces I have to help my students understand what they're doing in Moodle? I expect the MoodleCloud / HQ team to have given you a heads up about the upcoming upgrade to Moodle 3.11 somewhat in advance, so admins have had the time to prepare for it. People don't always appreciate change, especially when it comes as a total surprise, so I understand where your students are coming from. The human side of change management is a daunting task, I can tell from experience. I checked to see which plugins you have available in MoodleCloud, that may be of interest:Ĭhecklist activity - this can be set up to display all activities being tracked for completion, so your students can see where they are progress-wiseĬourse completion (settings and block) - as a student, you can open a report listing all the conditions and their statuses for completing the course The best way to go about this, is to look for an alternative design using the tools that are available to you. ![]() Rolling back to previous versions of Moodle, whether in MoodleCloud or hosted elsewhere, unfortunately isn't an easy thing if at all possible. ![]()
